Our rational for this approach is simple. Consider these two examples:

An email containing malware is downloaded by a user internally. A perimeter network penetration test wouldn’t identify this vulnerability through out of date antivirus software and/or domain permissions.

Another example, a flat network that is open to allow guest access, but does not utilise network separation between guests and office staff. This environment would expose core systems to public view. This would introduce vulnerabilities that would not be uncovered by a public facing penetration test.
